Phantom v611

The Phantom® v611 is the unique follow up to our v12.1 camera. With an improved body style, a lighter weight, and additional on-camera controls, it is well suited to the demands of the high-speed imaging market. Housed in a white body, the camera remains cool while shooting in direct sunlight making it ideal for military test range applications.

The v611 includes our proprietary widescreen 1280 x 800 CMOS sensor, which allows you to keep moving targets in the frame longer and see more of the event you are recording. The wide sensor also enables true 1280 x 720 HD images. With the v611, you can achieve a maximum speed of 6242 frames-per-second at full resolution. At reduced resolutions, it can deliver up rto 680,000 frames-per-second, or 1,000,000 fps using the FAST option.

The camera offers Versatile Dual HD-SDI that can provide 4:4:4 video (except at 60 fps), or two single 4:2:2 HD-SDI ports – one for playback and one always live. It is also capable of recording direct to CineMag at up to 800 megapixels/second.

Additional features that set the v611 apart from its competitors include our Extreme Dynamic Range feature, which gives you the ability to get two different exposures within a single frame so areas that would otherwise be overexposed contain image detail. Additionally, the Auto Exposure function lets the camera automatically adjust to changing lighting conditions. The ability to trigger from motion in an image with our unique Image-Based Auto-Trigger feature is now standard as is an Internal Mechanical Shutter which eliminates the need to manually cap the lens during a black balance.

Short Description

The next generation of the Phantom v12.1, the world's first CMOS-based high-speed camera capable of taking 1,000,000 pictures-per-second. 6,242 fps at full 1280 x 800 widescreen resolution.

Additional signals available with use of optional Break-Out-Box (BoB) Note: cannot use serial port on BoB and serial port on the camera at the same time. Powering the camera through the BoB using the standard AC power supply requires an adapter cable.

Data Acquisition

National Instruments M- and X-Series DAQ modules with integrated support in PCC

Shoot 1000 frames-per-second with the Phantom HD at 1920 x 1080 and 14-bits-per-pixel and you will need 3.6 GB of memory for each second of recording! A 4-second recording can take up to 15 minutes to download via standard GB Ethernet. That's 15 minutes better used for taking your next shot.

If you need higher speeds, record into camera RAM and “upload" the recording to a CineMag in seconds. The CineMag eliminates camera down time while saving your cines from volatile memory.

Use the Phantom CineStation connected to a PC and keep your camera free for doing its job – shooting high-speed scenes. The CineStation supports both raw digital and video workflows by providing a fast file download capability, as well as the ability to play the cine files stored on the CineMag over dual HD-SDI video outputs or component video.

Small, lightweight, handheld controller even doubles as a video monitor.

Our new Phantom Remote Control Unit is a 5" life saver! This small, lightweight, hand-held device controls your Phantom digital high-speed cameras as well as a providing a video monitor all in one package.

The RCU supports the entire high-speed imaging workflow. Set up the camera, trigger the shot, view the cine on the LCD screen, trim to the frames of interest, and save the result to a CineMag or on the new Phantom Miro M-Series with our new CineFlash product. Without ever touching the camera!

No more custom cables supporting different shot environments and/or requirements. This solution provides the user with all interface options supported by the camera! You can download a copy of the latest data sheet here.

Access to the following connections including XLR connectivity for alternative battery and power options:

IRIG-In

IRIG-Out

Video Out (75 ohm, composite)

Strobe

F-Sync / A-Trig

Pre-Trigger / Memgate

Genlock (on some models)

Power-In (24V, both a 4-pin Amphenol and 3-pin XLR connector are available)

Note:Pre-Trigger and Memgate share a connector and must be selected in software.

Lens mount adapter. Turn a C-mount into an F-mount. Allows the use of F-mount lenses on the Miro cameras. You might want to do this to avoid vignetting on the Miro 3 and Miro 4 at 800x600 and when using a short lens.
